Sažetak
There are few churches as small as this one dedicated to St. George in Purga Lepoglavska, not far from the Pauline monastery in Lepoglava where the extraordinarily talented illusionistic painter, Ivan Krstitelj Ranger, was a lay-brother painter. Ranger was born in north Tyrol but left no works in his home country. Instead, he arrived in Lepoglava and settled in the Pauline monastery. All Ranger's known works, with the exception of the ceiling paintings in Olimlje in nearby Slovenia, were commissions in north Croatia. The ceiling paintings in the Church of St. George are Ranger's most mature work with carefully designed quadratura thatgive the illusion extend the modest architectural space of the church.
